A truly rare opportunity in the heart of Austin's iconic 78704. Perched on one of the most coveted lots in Barton Hills, this custom-designed home sits on a quiet section of Forest Bend, offering breathtaking views of Barton Creek and the dramatic limestone cliffs beyond. The unique topography, including a natural saddle across the canyon, enhances the sense of openness and frames a stunning panorama of native landscape, rugged limestone formations, and the natural beauty that makes Barton Creek so special. Lovingly maintained by its original owners, this custom home was designed by an architect rather than built from a standard neighborhood floor plan. Recent improvements include updated electrical, solar-powered attic vents, updated lighting and fans, and new kitchen appliances. Move right in or bring your vision to create a spectacular modern showplace. The home is set back from the street, creating exceptional curb appeal, a spacious front yard, and an extended driveway with ample parking for guests. The surrounding section of Forest Bend is known for its beautifully maintained and remodeled homes. Step into the serene backyard and enjoy direct access to the Barton Creek Greenbelt and miles of trails, including the Violet Crown Trail, offering opportunities for hiking, biking, rock climbing, and exploration. When Barton Creek is flowing, the soothing sound of rushing water creates an atmosphere reminiscent of a coastal retreat. Living here means embracing the quintessential Austin lifestyle. Walk, hike, or bike to Taco Deli, and enjoy close proximity to Barton Springs Pool, Zilker Park, Matt's El Rancho, Phil's Ice House, Amy's Ice Cream, Terry Black's BBQ, and more. Forest Bend residents also enjoy annual neighborhood gatherings, including a Fourth of July parade and street celebrations. Properties offering this combination of privacy, greenbelt views, location, community, and long-term value rarely come available in Barton Hills.
